Unseen Kurt Cobain Suicide Scene Photos Published

We thought for sure that by now, on the 19th anniversary of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's death, every last shred of documentation regarding the iconic rocker's suicide would have been unearthed. Turns out we were wrong.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the hometown paper of record, sent several photographers to Cobain's Lake Washington Boulevard mansion on April 8, 1994, the day an electrician discovered the body. Several of the pictures -- including a famous front page image showing Cobain's body from the waist down -- appeared in hundreds of papers worldwide the next day, but apparently, there were additional shots not published at the time. They've been preserved at Seattle's Museum of History and Industry, but today, the Post-Intelligencer has finally published them.

None of the new pics display Kurt Cobain's unsheathed body, but a couple show his covered body being taken away by the King County Medical Examiner’s staff. Several additional pictures from a memorial service held on April 10 of that year at Seattle Center have also seen the light of day.

And although Cobain's body itself isn't pictured, "some of these photos could be disturbing to some readers," notes the paper. "These are not presented for shock value, but rather as historical images from the P-I archive preserved at [Museum of History and Industry]."
